Original Finish of Wurlitzer Wall Box
By Larry Emmons

Greetings!  Thanks to a posting on MMD recently of a Wurlitzer wall
box for sale, I'm now the owner of that item.  It makes a fine addition
to my recently restored 1912 Wurlitzer B Orchestrion.  The wall box is
complete as advertised but it has been painted at some point in its
life.  There is a photo in Bowers' Encyclopedia on page 711 (middle
photo of the Wurlitzers).

Can anyone provide a description, photos, etc., of what the wall box
would have originally looked like?  Was it plated, painted, trimmed
with contrasting colors?

Thanks, Larry Emmons
